The Republicans Of Iowa, in con
vention assembled, have indicated
their belief that the tariff should be
revised and reduced and they declare
for oil possible and practicable re-
duction Of taxation, both National
and State. This is what Democrats
have been claiming all along, They
have maintained that the tariff needs
revising and reducing, and Grover
Cleveland was elected on that sort
Of a platform. Yet Republicans
howl themselves hoarse when any At
tempt is made by Congress looking
toward revision or a reduction Of
their hobby, a high protective tariff,
The intelligence Of the country de.
mands a revision Of the tariE. The
majority Of the people elected a Pres

walls profess their belief in It. and
Congress is in duty bound to provide
Tor the revision and reduction.

1t is stated that one Of the largest
railroad deals ever transacted has
Just been consummated between the
b. d o., Pennsylvania and other
companies. 1t is thought that this
will give the Pennsylvania road con.
troll of the whole B. & o. system and
the Western Union Telegraph Com
Pany will take charge of the entire
telegraph system, This is a surprise
to most persons as everyone thought
that the B. q o. was perfectly sound
financially. 1t has since transpired
that the road was crippled in at
tempting to reach New York. Bust
ness men in the different cities along
the line differ as to the probable re-
suit Of the deal. The majority think
it will be injurious.

The Army Paymasters have been
transacting their business in a very
loose manner some of them not hav-
ing settled their accounts in four or
i've years and it is highly probable
that the investigation of their ac-
counts, which has now been ordered
by the Second Controller of the Treas.
ury, will uncover many discrepancies.
Enough is already known to warrant
the statement that many of the Pay
masters whose bonds expired in 1888
and 1884 and earlier years are short
in their accounts with the Govern
ment. The responsibility for this
state of affairs lies not so much with
The Paymasters themselves as with
the accounting officials of the Repub.
'lican regime.

PowderIv ON Cn-oneratinn.

in the Journal Of United Labor, Mr. Pow
derry says The watchword of the Knights
of Labor is universal cooperation. In it
they see the road leading TO the solution
of the labor question, the abolition of the
wage system and the accumulation of CAPT.
tai by those who have thus far suffered
from its aggressions. For the ideal of the
cooperative movement is the widest pos
sible diffusion Of capital to make it the
servant and not the master of labor, and
industrial cooperation, as we understand
it, means this; II mea organized elf-help
by honest labor and honest trade the
profits being equally divided among those
who create them, whether by work ofhand
or work of brain. 1t means being ones
own master and working for ones own in
terest. 1t means the reign of the common
people and the establishment of a real CO.
operative republic The goal can never be
reached by the realization of the widest
Socialistie dreams, State ownership of two
OF the factors in production-land and
capital-and virtually of the third
labor. That would sacrifice personal
liberty, while cooperation would add to
this liberty by applying true democracy
| to industrial organization. Nor will the
selfish trade-unionist's idea of looking no
further than the getting of the highest
possible wages for himself and his craft
offer the means of escape from a harsh
and helpless destiny. Our motto is, All
for each and each for all not Each for
himself and the devil take hindmost But
the industrial millennium cannot be had
for the asking, and workingmen cannot
have cooperation or any improved indus
trial system thrust upon them as DR.. Shaw

Grains of Sand.

The manufacture of sand is an important
industry, which has Pittsburg for its head
quarters, although the sand is not made
within the limits of the city. There is
considerable traffic in Monongahela sand,
which is scooped up from the bed of the
river, to be used for common building pur-
poses; but the manufacture of sand is
quite another affair, and the product goes
into quite different commodity, which is
glass.
Practically glass is almost pure sand,
other substances used in its manufacture
for huxiDg being consumed while the sand
is transformed to greater or less degree of
transparency. The sand 1sed in glass
making is almost pure silica, so nearly
pure that there is less than one per cent of
iron, magnesia, and aluminium, to ninety
nine per cent. of the other. And of:this
sand. which is quarried out of the hills aud
ground down 10 VARYING degrees of fine
ness. and washed to q varying degree of
whiteness, eight hundred tons are manu-
featured daily, four hundred tons being
consumed in and around Pittsburg, and
four hundred tons going into eastern Ohio
and West Virginia, to Wheeling, Bellaire,
Columbus, and all points within circuit
of one hundred and fifty miles from Pitts
burg.-George JJartRGn.
